The Report Was Inaccurate
According to Thompson, there were a few inaccuracies in his report. It stated that during the 1960s, there were never more than 200 members in Northern California, even though 446 were mentioned in the report. The Lynch reported also claimed the members were accountable for “1,116 homicides, 12,448 aggravated assaults, 6,257 sex offenses, and 24,532 burglaries” all in one year. Based on his own experience with the Hells Angels, Thompson claimed that these numbers were simply not possible.
